This 1927 Beaux Arts building was named for its patron Süreyya İlmen Pasha and styled on European theatres. Crucial difference was, they didn't install a stage or artistes' rooms, so it flopped as an opera house and was converted to a cinema. From 2007 it was rebuilt to its original purpose, and now hosts ballet, opera and classical music.
